Take a look at some papers by Sebastian Thrun or Andrew Ng....

Specifically you may want to read Andrew Ng's paper on robotic helicopters, and maybe the darpa challenge paper by Thrun.

A book I would suggest is "Artificial Intelligence : A modern approach"

As far as classifying the "true nature" of AI ... I think this is difficult to do, since there is really no exact definition for what "intelligence" really is. AI is currently viewed in CS as the ability to solve complex problems that generally require human "reasoning" ... the methodology used by the computer to do this is irrelevant... most of the time it is just a really good statistical/guided guess after looking at many possibilities.
Sounds good. Thanks everyone. I decided to analyze how Hollywood over the years has looked at AI and how this science has actually progressed. Not sure though how deep I want to go into the ethics involved in AI research. But thanks again, all your suggestions are greatly appreciated. I will post my final paper in a week or two.
